Old Business:
Dam Discussion: The Dam status remains the same. Our engineers have requested an extension for our
construction deadline due to the Pandemic as we are still awaiting our permit.
Other:
The new roof was recently installed on the dam house.
Court hearings are ongoing. Approximately 5-6 residents have paid the Dues/Special Assessment since
being served with legal action and approximately 10 others are facing legal proceeding for collection of
the same. LCWA is requesting volunteers to help clean up the dam’s landscape. VP Brian Kaltreider suggested the first and third Sunday of each month commencing in June and running through September for this cause.
Vote to Adopt Resolution-2023-1; Party to Litigation Involving LCWA
It was noted that a Special Meeting of the Board was held prior to the commencement of this meeting
at which time a Resolution, known as LCWA Resolution 2023-1 Party to Litigation Involving LCWA, was unanimously adopted by the Board. The Resolution was then presented to the membership in
attendance, which states that any individual or entity who is a party to litigation involving LCWA shall be required to reimburse LCWA for all legal fees and costs in any such litigation matter which ends in favor of LCWA either in whole or in part. After a brief discussion, said Resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote of majority in favor, with no objections being noted. A copy of the signed Resolution is
attached hereto and made a part of today’s meeting minutes.
Dues: 2023 dues in the amount of $300 are due May 31. Members are encouraged to pay their dues as
